cpan2dist

NAME

cpan2dist - The CPANPLUS distribution creator

DESCRIPTION

This script will create distributions of CPAN
modules of the format
you specify, including its prerequisites. These packages can then be
installed using the corresponding package manager for the format.

Note, you can also do this interactively from the default shell,
CPANPLUS::Shell::Default
. See the CPANPLUS::Dist
documentation,
as well as the documentation of your format of choice for any format
specific documentation.

USAGE

Built-In Filter Lists

Some modules you'd rather not package. Some because they
are part of core-perl and you dont want a new package.
Some because they won't build on your system. Some because
your package manager of choice already packages them for you.

There may be a myriad of reasons. You can use the --ignore
and --ban
options for this, but we provide some built-in
lists that catch common cases. You can use these built-in lists
if you like, or supply your own if need be.

Built-In Ignore List

You can use this list of regexes to ignore modules matching
to be listed as prerequisites of a package. Particularly useful
if they are bundled with core-perl anyway and they have known
issues building.

Toggle it by supplying the --default-ignorelist
option.

Built-In Ban list

You can use this list of regexes to disable building of these
modules altogether.
